MAJCAM v BARCLAYS

[majcam]

Hi ,

 

Have sent original letter and claim including interest.

 

Have sent LBA letter.

 

Total claimed was £2300.00

 

Today received a letter from Barc**ys offering me £1395.00 with no explanation as to how they came to that figure.

 

Any advice would be gratefully received.

 

I'm happy to push it all the way

 

Many thanks.

I think they use a random number generator myself. You have to decline or accept as part settlement. Basically, you follow the process until they give you the number you have asked them for or the court tells them to pay you. They do not want to go to court so they will pay you but they will not do it unless you show willing!

[empowered]

Hello Majcam - send them a rejection letter (in the bank templates library) and then start court action for the remainder of the outstanding monies plus interest. Hope this helps! Also start your thread in the Barclays forum as others there can help you with your particular bank and the little games they play!

I've moved your thread to the Barclays forum so that you can get advice from other Barclays claimers

Hi all,

 

My initial claim letter was sent to Barclays on 26/2/07, representing charges over the last six years.

 

The claim was for £1820, plus £470.51 in interest totalling £2290.51

 

I sent LBA letter on 13/3/07

 

I received an offer of £1365.00 from Barclays on 30/3/07 in FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT.

 

They can stick this offer as far as I am concerned.

 

My question is what to do know, and exactly what amount should I claim, ie charges, interest up to when, etc etc.

 

Many thanks.

Hi, good work so far,

My question is what to do know

Now you send in your letter of rejection, it should be called "letter of acceptance..but" cos you actually accept their offer but only as part payment, inform them that you intend to continue with your actions in order to recover the full amount.

exactly what amount should I claim

The FULL amount!!

If you have completed the spreadsheet on here to show how much the charges are, you will see that this amount increases every day automatically.

hi i am in the middle of claiming my bank charges back but stuck at the moment can anyone help

[dar£n]

ugly, can you start your own thread as in Ugly v Barclays, then the posts can be directed to you and not get lost in someone elses thread, Ta

[majcam]

Thanks dar3n for your post

 

Is the interest calculated up to the period when I first wrote the initial letter, or up to final judgement date , if it went to court?

[livelylad]

Interest is calcilated from the date od the charge upto the date of settlement.

[dar£n]

As livelylad states,

from the date they slap the amount on your account to the date they pay up.

 

Thanks LL

Case got transfered from mcol Northampton, to my local court in Guildford

 

Have just received a copy of a letter from Krysta Campbell at Barclays Lit team which is a response to the court.

 

barclays say " the defendant has filed a defence for the purpose of contesting the claim and it will continue to contest the claim to and at trial if it is necessary to do so"

 

they also say " the evidential issues raised by the parties 'statements of case appear to be such that expert evidence may be necessary"

 

 

My question to you good people is this... Is this more legal BS from the bank and another attempt at getting me to crumble, or do I have to do anything in response to this letter?

 

Many thanks...keep up the good work

Have you received any directions from the court ? and what did you put as your POC ?

[Michael Browne]

Presumably this is in response to this Direction?:

It is Ordered that

 

1. The claim is allocated to the small claims track.

2. The hearing will take place, time and date which will be notified to the parties.

3. The defendant shall not later tham 4pm on xx/xx2007 serve on the claimant and lodge aat court a document answering the following questions: (a) is the case intended to be contested to and at trial? (b) does the defendant intend to apply to adduce expert evidence?

4. if the deefendant fails to lodge at court a document in accordance with paragraph 3 above the defence shall stand strucj out and judgment be entered for the claimant for the amount claimed and costs comprising the issue fee and any allocation fee paid.

5. each party shall serve on the other the witness statements of all witnesses (other than expert witnesses on whom they intend to rely).

6. No party may adduce expert evidence unless an application for permission to adduce such evidence has been made and granted.

7. No party may rely on the evidence of any witness whose statement has not been served in accordance with this order without further permission from the court.

8. No more than seven nor less than three clear working days before the trial date the claimant shall file at court an indexed and paginated bundle of documents which complies with the requirements of Rule 39.5 of the civil procedure rules and the practice direction thereto, and shall serve a copy of it on the defendant. The claimant shall endeavour to agree the contents of the bundle with the defendant before it is filed. If the claimant fails to file a trial bundle in accordance with this direction the claim shall stand struck out and the action dismissed without further order.

9. Because this order has been made by the court without considering represnetations from the parties, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed. A party wishing to make an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with the appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this order.

You need to send a witness statement. Be interesting to see if Barclays make an application for expert witnesses

See here:

Court Bundle - Examples of Witness Statement, Document list etc

Examples of Witness Statements / Disclosure by List / Draft Directions / Case Summary

 

Then wait for court date and send court bundle 7 days before.
